New member Username: SarahsPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | Hi Everyone, I am in need of help and I heard this is where the experts are I recently purchased a JVC HDTV model HD56G786 and have some questions. I tried calling JVC and they were not any help at all. OK, here are my problems: I have my DVD player hooked up to the TV and when I play a widescreen DVD the picture does not fill up the screen. My DVD player is at least 5 years old. How do I get the picture to fill up the screen (oh, its a Panasonic DVD player - I dont know the model). I also have a PS 2 hooked up and the games dont fill up the screen either. I changed the settings on the PS to display in 16:9 and it didnt work. Is there anyway to change the brightness of the gray bars on the screen (I dont know what they are called). I know, I'm such a girl but I really want this to work :-) Thank you soooo much in advance, Sarah |
